Would you fancy a 24 karat gold plated MacBook Air with a bejeweled version of the classic rainbow Apple? I have to say it’s great to look at, especially if you’re obsessed with gold! But I don’t see how this MacBook Air will be practical in anyway, would be too worried about damaging it or scratching it, nevermind what goes on inside! The Air within is just a standard 1.6ghz/2gb/80GB which costs at most $1,799 USD on the Apple Store and even cheaper if you find it elsewhere like Amazon or eBay, but for a 24k gold plated one, you would be looking at $5000 USD…
Obviously adding weight to the MacBook Air is an issue because lightweight is its main selling point, however, according to Gizmodo who talked with Alex Wiley from Computer Choppers…
The weight hasn’t noticeably changed since it’s plating. The jewelry may add an ounce or two if that. Diamonds and jewelry depend on what the customer asks for, the rainbow is 14kt gold with 3.8ctw sapphires adds another $3000 USD.
Yes, to celebrate David Beckham’s 100th contribution to the English national football team, his colleagues (yes, all millionaires) got him a 32Gb iPod Touch that’s been personalised just for him in gold (costs round about £600).
Might this be the one and only or will more of these be produced for profits, who knows?

It’s official! The latest N810 WiMAX which was much spoken about on many blogs earlier last month has now been confirmed at the CTIA in Las Vegas! It currently remains unpriced, but we do know for a fact now that it will be running the latest updated OS: OS2008, which features enhanced e-mail client, support for Chinese character rendering in the browser and RSS feeds as well as “Seamless Software Update functionality” to boot. The best is, once OS2008 is available, current N810 / N800 users will get to upgrade to the latest OS for free!
So what are some of the specs on the new N810 WiMAX? Well we now know for certain that it will have a whopping large 4.13-inch touchscreen, slide-out QWERTY keyboard (picture above). Also built-in webcam for video calls, Mozilla powered browser (Yeah! 
), you can also use it as a sat-nav as it is equipped with integrated GPS / media player, 2GB of internal memory and a microSD expansion slot. Access to the internet can be done via WiFi or via conventional cellular data networks by pairing to a compatible mobile phone via bluetooth.
If you’re an iPhone user you will have realised by now that a new software / firmware update: 1.1.4 for your iPhone has been released. The upgrade itself can be done directly via iTunes or via a direct single setup file which we provided a link to in one of our posts last week. However one of the main problem faced by most users if you update / upgrade was that your previously jailbroken iPhone no matter what version, presumably 1.1.3, would be bricked or locked once again. After about a week since release, we thought we’d catch up with what the latest option was for jailbreaking the 1.1.4, and after testing it ourselves, we felt choosing the ZiPhone tool would be the easiest and simplest to use.
ZiPhone 2.5 – a new release of the tool that can jailbreak and unlock iPhones through a graphical interface under both Mac OS X and Windows, has been released in an iPhone 1.1.4 compatible edition. This means that any iPhone with any firmware version including those that will be shipped with 1.1.4 out-of-the-box (OTB) can be jailbroken and unlocked. Users who have older firmware versions such as 1.1.3, 1.1.2, etc… and wish to use the utility should perform a “restore and update” process in iTunes to bring their iPhones to version 1.1.4 – remembering to backup any data or work on your device first though!

It’s about time! Apple has finally decided to up their game by putting on an extra one gigabyte onto the iPod Shuffle.

This is only a suggestive concept, but the Zune shown in the picture below certainly looks exciting:
This design was gathered from ZuneScene, though a new Zune 3 could be being designed the moment we speak, it is in everyone’s interest whether or not the future Zune will be a combat against the iPhone by being integrated with a phone, the Zune Phone maybe?
Now, back to what we were talking about, the concept of Zune 3 above comes with a list of very ideal concept specsifications…

Do you remember back in April this year, when Mimoco unveiled?a series of Mimobots (USB drives like those pictured) which resembled popular characters from Star Wars like Darth Vader, Chewbacca, Stormtrooper and R2-D2? Indeed they were very popular and were completely sold out soon after they were released (especially the Darth Vader!). Now Mimoco has announced that they will be further following up their popular trend of USB drives by launching Princess Leia, Han Solo, Boba Fett and Luke Skywalker!
